Waiting topless (NSFW)

Waiting topless (NSFW) is a photojournalism piece by The Sunday Best (Courtesy of Briget Ganske/The Salt Institute for Documentary Studies) about what has to be the most depressing restaurant in the world: a topless coffee bar. In Maine. I mean, the whole place reeks of broken dreams and lowered expectations. The waitresses speak about taking care of an amputee mother and a special needs child. That's rough, it almost makes me want to cry. So many issues between exploitation and liberated feminism. In their words:

"When the Grand View Topless Coffee shop in Vassalboro opened in February 2009, Lisa Beaudreau and Star Cunningham both found jobs there. 'Yes, I am a topless waitress, but I'm just a regular normal person in society,' Cunningham says. 'I honestly don't think in this economy right that there is a job out there that would pay roughly the same.'

In June, the shop burned down in a suspected arson and reopened in tent‎."

I showed my friend EP, just to see what he thought. His reaction was, "OH GOD THESE ARE NOT PRETTY BOOBS." I had suspected as much, but not being a guy, I wasn't sure. 

The tragedy.
